Saving Susiya: The Palestinian village facing demolition

31 images Created 10 Jun 2016

Susiya is a small Palestinian village located in the South Hebron Hills of the West Bank, home to approximately 350 men, women and children. The village is overlooked by an illegal Israeli settlement that was built in 1983.

Residents of the village face the imminent threat of demolition following a ruling by Israel’s High Court of Justice in May 2015, denying their request for an injunction to halt Israel's plans to demolish their homes.

After years of threats, several demolitions and multiple demolition orders, the villagers refuse to give up hope and continue to fight for their legal right to remain living on their land.
